Want to play OOT but don’t have a N64 or 3DS
The 8bitdo 64 controller is the best version of the N64 controller

2026 New N64 controllers
I played the 8bitdo yesterday the first time. For Mario Kart 64 it was fine - although the double triggers irritate me (especially when having played newer Mario Karts lately). But playing the AKI wrestling games with the D-pad was much worse. They should have switched the stick and d-pad.

Faulty Unit
The controller is fantastic in my opinion. If the A3D was compatible I'd be using that, but the M64 + M64 Pro Con is just so nice compared to using the 8BitDo 64 controller and 3D

Pro Controller Cope
It's going to be a screw up. It's going to be the most expensive version of the 8bitdo/RetroFighters/Custom replacement version of this same problem. People are going to love how it feels and brush over that it plays games wrong, even in the "accurate" conversion state. This was my single biggest co

I have a Analogue 3D, a Summercart and a Forever Pak 64. How on earth do I save games?
Nintendo 64 controllers have a slot on the bottom for accessories. The “memory card” is called a Controller Pak because it fits there. Only some games use it. The only games that require it are third party games not published by Nintendo… though a lot of them don’t require it to save either. That’s

Is the N64 controller worth it if you don't have much nostalgia for it and mainly want to use it for Zelda?
I bought an 8BitDo 64 controller. It was cheaper and it works great.

The analog sticks on the new 8Bitdo N64 controller is absolutely horrid.
I'll commiserate here. The stick is awful, completely unusable for racing games, and I'm wondering if the sensitivity can even be fixed via firmware updates. The physical feel and movement is so jarring compared to other 8bitdo products like the excellent Pro 2. As of now, I'm thinking my daily driv

So do we have a definitive answer as to whether or not 8bitDo or Nintendo Online expansion pack 64 controllers are as good an OG wired N64 controller?
Gotta say, I have one of each (OG wired, NSO and 8Bitdo 64) and they all work perfectly fine for me. I have never had any lag, though I am probably only 1 to 1 1/2 meters from the Analogue 3D. I probably prefer the 8bitDo simply because I'm used to the form factor, though it is fun to reminisce and

NSO N64 Controller Lag Mitigation?
The 8BitDo retro receiver works with much less latency. I don’t think Analogues NSO specific (Switch) implementation is optimized. Their DirectInput implementation with 8BitDo 64 is much better, but the short throw makes it too sensitive (even after they fixed calibration). 8BitDo’s retro receiver a

It’s been said before but use wired original controllers if you can
I modded the dpad on the 8Bitdo controller. It made Dr Mario playable again. https://longplaytech.com/posts/8bitdo-64-controller-diagonal-fix/ The stick isn’t as nice as an OG stick, but it’s pretty good. I can do all the Mario 64 stuff with it fine. It does take some time to adjust to it.
